Runs for a month??

I was googling around for more info... its pretty heavy to be really portable, but still a good step in the right direction.

But a MONTH?

It wasn't a month continuous... 8 hours a day I think. It uses a methanol fuel source so there is an explosion danger, but its still pretty cool. I wonder if it'll get through safety testing.

8 hours a day for a month is still ten times longer than the very very best laptops manage. I find that quite hard to believe. Although... it IS kinda bulky, maybe it would be possible to run a very efficient laptop for a few days on a tank this big.

I'd say its only about twice the size of many internal batteries. I'd take two weeks, thank you very much
